DAS on Macbook Pro.

Hi All,

 

Anyone care to share if they have used DAS with Macs? Thanks.

Hi blue_box

I understand a number of BBT members are, or have used DAS on Mac by utilizing Parallels (https://www.parallels.com/).  @Carlos M.has a great YouTube on how he setup his DAS on a Mac:
 

 

When I started out I used a MacBook, but rather than using Parallels I setup Bootcamp (https://support.apple.com/en-nz/HT201468) as other than having to buy a Windows 10 license was free and reviews suggested more stable , which worked really well as I was learning.  I have now moved to a dedicated Windows desktop, but still you my Mac when travelling.

Happy to answer any questions and good luck with getting up and running.

I currently use mac and Das. https://www.parallels.com/ Works great. Havent has an issue once and windows on mac runs faster than windows on windows. I did a lot of research before I chose to go with the Mac M2 Mac 16" Worth every penny.

And the bonus is I dedicate a parallel VM just for trading. This makes sure your VM doesn't have other Windows software installed that aren't related to trading but could degrade your VM overtime. After I'm done trading, I just quit Parallels on Mac, and it'd preserve everything I had, and go back to what you are doing on Mac environment.
